Now a days, ladies dont have securities in day time only. then travelling in train that too alone at night time is not at all safe.

Thats why a women should never go anywhere alone. either she should go with some men or she should go with a group.

Railways must have improvement in taking security measures. They must implement trains like automated door closed system and cams in the trains. One compartment must have atleast two police men. So this type of cases wont be repeated.
And when this type of situation is happened means government must give shoot at sight orders so this type situations and crimes will be in control.

Women also need to be a bit tricky. I remember that once there was only one young woman with her child in the compartment I was traveling. The woman came to my next seat and also chatted a while. There were a few other passengers going in group. They did not look gentle and she feared them. But as she was sitting next to me and also talking, they were confused and did not dare even touch her. The train stopped at the outer. I helped her get down along with child. This is also a clue for safety when a woman travels alone. She may just sit next to some passenger of sober type and confuse others.

Sir,
I would like to know about lady compartment, if she is alone at night...what should she do?

Nobody is absolutely safe. When you move out from home, there is uncertainty. One is unsafe when alone. The ladies compartment is also unsafe when you are alone there. In the incident mentioned by me above, there were many men to begin with but just most got down in intermediary stations. If I had also got down some where, the woman would be alone in company of those mischievous looking guys. As long as there is over emphasis on women chastity and modesty and they are timid, safety is compromised. I think that a woman must possess a mobile phone and if she is in real danger, she should phone some emergency number and also pull chain.

The same day also....when the train reached Poonkunnam-Thrissur (or the previous station), seeing the empty compartment, she should have got out of it and go to a general compartment. But she might have thought, it is only 15 minutes left. Only, next station. So no need to get out of here, with luggage. Isn't it?
